Hey Whiff, I remember a post where you were asking about running the brake line. what did you end up doing? CAn I get pics?
Dennis,

Here are a couple of photos of the brake line. As I stated, it's just one continuous line from the M/C down to the brake. I just tied it and used a pre-existing holder to route it to the left. I put some new photos in my gallery if you are interested in getting a better shot of the whole deal.

Whiff

So, r u gonna leave the front fender off for awhile?

Looks better, for sure. I want to remove mine but I'm still concerned about kicked-up water/dirt/debris. Guess I won't know til I try it...

I could effectively leave it off permanently since it rarely rains here and, when there's a big enough chance that it will, I don't ride. There are some good things to be said about living in SoCal.

THANKS!

Sorry, Kaduku, but I can't part with it. One face-full of grit too many and it'll probably go back on. So, to answer the other question, YES, I feel everything that isn't permanently attached to the road.

And thanks for the bike compliments, guys.

Someone wanted a pic of me on the bike for size/height reference. Here you go; I'm 5'10. New pics in my album too!

Thanks for the pic.

I can never tell how high the bars are until someone is sitting on the bike. It looks like they are comfortable.

WHIFF you're getting good at this mechanical stuff and I think the tank lift from RUDEDOG should be your next cheap mod.
